SUCK SUNDAY IN NEW YORK

The blackest day in New York Mets history was the occasion today. Shameful, inexcusable and downright unprofessional, with complete lack of pride and the laughing stock of the sports world are the NY Mets, or should I say NY Mess.

That they could play with so little passion, so little care, so careless in preparation is beyond professional reason. They are without a doubt the most embarrassing thing to happen to New York Sports, worst than the 1951 Brooklyn Dodger loss to the New York Giants after a 13 ½ game lead. At least the Dodgers didn’t lose it; the Giants just outright won it. The Phillies are National League Eastern Division Champions by the Mess losing it, not so much the Phillies winning it.

Twice the Mess had 7 game leads in the last month and twice they choked it up. 7 game leads with only 17 games left to play, and again they choke. The worst choke job in history, where is there pride?

And the Jets, surely you jest. On the football court, they are the court jesters. Out gunned, out manned, out coached, and out played.

I think for the convenience of both or all Mets and Jets fans, they should both use the same nick name: “BUMS” so that the fans can at least save money on the team jerseys.

CHEATER, CHEATER, PUMPKIN EATER

Roger Goodell should fine Belichick the $500,000 plus the owner another $500,000 for stealing the Jets signals, and the NFL Commissioner should make New England forfeit the game to the Jets and lose some first round picks. Why so harsh? Well, if you take the NFL seriously, and the fact that NFL football is a multi-million dollar business, and the fact that New England stands to make a bundle in another Super Bowl appearance, it certainly is justified. I have to take back what I said about the Jets defense being absent from the field of play, and state that they did show up.

Mel Hall, former Yankee and Cub was arrested for rapes that he perpetrated a few years ago on his baby-sitters, two under age teenagers. Guess we can now change the record books to read Mel Hell.

Big showdown this weekend for New York baseball. Yankees try to get into the race for the division championship in Boston. The Sox look to avenge the last meeting in New York and put the Yankees away for the season, the Yanks need all three games to have any hope for the division championship. A similar scenario exists for the Mets, but the Phillies come to town and need to win all three to have a slight hope of winning their division from the Mets. The Mets. Like the Sox, look to avenge a 4-game sweep. My thinking is the Mets will not sweep the Phils, but may take 2 of 3, while the Yanks could possibly take all three and then move on to the division crown. The Philadelphians are the most desperate of the four to win, since they are in a tighter race for the wildcard.

That’s it for now.

ONLY 15 WEEKS TO GO

If you are a New York sports fan, you have to have mixed feelings; Euphoria in the baseball world and despair in the football world, dreaded anticipation for the basketball season and indifference for the hockey year to come.

You must be suspicious of the New England Patriot defense in that it gave up 14 points, when they were the only team on the field.

Meanwhile Opie Pennington almost breaks an ankle and the fans are euphoric. Hey Eric Mangia, take the hint, and get a quarterback in there before the season really gets out of hand. As Opie said to Eric: “Gosh Pa, they sure are big!”

The Yankees continue to tease the rest of the American League, it’s like they play with one hand counting their money behind their back and the other playing baseball.

Federer is just being Federer.

Big Blue was black and blue and bruised, how can they score that many points and still lose? If you throw out the weak defense against the run and the porous pass defense, they would look like the Jets with scoring. “It hurts” said coach Tom Coughlin said, “but there are 15 more games to go,” or is that give away?

Does anyone have 60 career titles at such a young age as Tiger Woods? What will he have after another 10 years? Incredible and unbelievable!

That’s all for now.
